Invocation, closing with Lord's Prayer. 
Gloria Patri. Choir. 
Responsive Reading. Ps. 96:97. 

j(l\ SING unto the Lord a new song ; sing unto the Lord, all the 
1^ earth. 

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name ; shew forth his salvation 
from day to day. 

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among 
all people. 

For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised : He is to be 
feared above all gods. 

For all the gods of the nations are idols : but the Lord made 
the heavens. 

Honour and majesty are before him : strength and beauty are 
in his sanctuary. 

Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto 
the Lord glory and strength. 

Give unto the Lord the g:!ory due unto his name : bring an 
offering, and come into hii; court. 

O worship the Lord in' 'the beauty of holiness : fear before 
him, all the earth. 

Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth : the world 
also shall be established that it shall not be moved ; he shall 
judge the people righteously. 

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad ; let the sea 
roar, and the fullness thereof. 

Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein : then shall all 
the trees of the wood rejoice 

Before the Lord : for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the 
earth : he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the 
people with his truth. 

OD be merciful unto us, and bless us ; and cause his face to shine 
upon us ; 
That thy may be known upon earth, thy saving health 
among all nations. 



Let the people praise thee, O God ; let all the people praise 
thee. 

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for thou shalt judge 
the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. 

Let the people praise thee, O God ; let all the people praise 
thee. 

Then shall the earth yield her increase ; and God, even our 
own God, shall bless us. 

God shall bless us ; and all the ends of the earth shall fear 
him.

Responsive Reading, Ps. 89: 1-37. 

WILL SING of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my 
mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever : thy faithful- 
ness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto 
David my servant, 

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to 
all generations. 

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faith- 
fulness also in the congregation of the samts. 

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who 
among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord ? 

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and 
to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 

O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee ? 
or to thy faithfulness round about thee ? 

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof 
arise, thou stillest them. 

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou 
hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the 
world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and 
Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy 
right hand. 

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy 
and truth shall go before thy face.

y/V^ AKE a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 
2|X^%. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence 
with singing. 
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he hat hath made us, 
and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his 
pasture. 

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving^ and into his courts 
with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth 
endureth to all generations. 

WILL lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh 
my help. 

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and 
earth. 

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee 
will not slumber. 

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right 
hand. 

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve 
thy soul. 

The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in 
from this time forth, and even for evermore.

HEN the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were 
hke them that dream. 

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our 
tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The 
Lord hath done great things for them. 

The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 

Turn again our captivity, O Lord; as the streams in the south. 

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall 
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with 
him.
